    Summary: no animation while constructing items

    Description:

    when opening the constructor, or the food constructor later in the video, it seems the production has stopped. its very confusing.
    it seems it happens more often if i open the output crate and the construtor right afterwards.

    Yes, this is happening to me too, is like if the time of construction does not progresses if you are not inside the interface of the constructor. When entering again in the interface, the progress continues, but after a "big" delay.

    Normally, if you enter to the constructor, go out and enter again, the progress continues immediately, this is the behavior that I have seen from the beginning.

    I suppose that the construction times are not consistent when you are crafting in the background and not being inside the constructor interface.

    I am gaming in single player, so I think it is not related to any server configuration, problem, or connection.

    This kind of small graphical bug happens to me since more than 1 year. Its a graphical glitch only but its anoying. If you re-enter a second time into the construction screen, it shows the correct animated yellow progress circle.

    Yep, it´s just a graphical issue.
    The constructor is still working as usual.
    You can force to "update" you animation, by putting something in the queue (or deleting something from it).
    Then you will have the correct remaining time back.

    Known issue.. sometimes it happens more frequent, sometimes not at all.. hard to track down as a real usecase is missing...

    Summary: Progress Bar in Constructor Shows Completed or Empty When Construction Not Complete

    Description: Progress Bar in Constructor Shows Completed or Empty When Construction Not Complete

    Steps to Reproduce: Press 'P' to open a CV's panel. Click Devices tab and open the Large or Advanced Constructor (haven't tested on survival, portable, or small but assuming they'll have same problem). Hold Ctrl and Shift, and click on Promethium Pellets to start creating 1000 Promethium Pellets. Watch the progress bar moving to ensure they start creating. Close constructor. Open constructor the same way. For the current pellet being created, the progress bar is either empty or full, but the pellet is not yet constructed and the progress bar doesn't move. Wait until it completes. The progress bar will start working again on the next pellet. I've been able to reproduce the bug with other resources like copper bars or iron bars. Items that take longer to create do not seem to be affected by this bug.

    Note: You may need to close and open the constructor a few times before you see the bug clearly.
